Saigon Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake Recipe (2024)

For the cake:

• ▢ 1 stick unsalted butter at room temperature
• ▢ 1 cup white sugar
• ▢ 2 eggs
• ▢ 2 teaspoons Spice Islands Pure Vanilla Extract
• ▢ 2 cups all purpose flour
• ▢ 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ▢ ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ▢ ½ teaspoon Spice Islands Sea Salt
• ▢ 1 cup sour cream

For the streusel topping:

• ▢ 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
• ▢ ¾ cup brown sugar
• ▢ 1 teaspoon Spice Islands Ground Saigon Cinnamon
• ▢ 1 teaspoon Spice Islands Sea Salt
• ▢ 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter

For the glaze:

• ▢ 1 cup powdered sugar
• ▢ 2 tablespoons whole milk

• Preheat the oven to 350 ºF. Spray a 9-inch spring-form pan with baking spray and set aside.

• In a large stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar.

• Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture, and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed, until fully incorporated.

• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and mix on low speed until just combined.

• Add the sour cream and mix for 60 seconds more, until fully incorporated.

• In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients for the topping and, using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until you have a crumbly mixture.

• Transfer half of the batter to the prepared spring-form pan and smooth out so it covers the bottom. Sprinkle ½ cup of the streusel topping on top of the batter, and then cover with the remaining batter.

• Sprinkle the remaining streusel on top of the batter. Transfer the spring-form pan onto a baking sheet and then into the prepared oven.

• Bake for 55-60 minutes, until a knife can be inserted into the center and comes out clean. Remove from the oven. Let the cake cool completely.

• In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.

• Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and serve with coffee.
